A hair care composition includes, by weight thereof, from about 0.01% to abo ut 99% of an alkoxylate compound, from about 1% to about 99.99% of a suitable carrier, and the balance other additional components. The hair care composition reduces bulk hair area by at least about 10%, as measured by an Image Analysis Protocol. The alkoxylate compound has an HLB value of from about 5 to about 12, and is selected from a single-alkoxylate-chain segment polymer, a multi-alkoxylate-chain segment polymer, a cationic alkyl akoxylat e derivative, and mixtures thereof. The single-alkoxylate-chain segment polyme r is of the formula (I): X-O-(R1-O)a-X, where each X is independently selected from H, and C1-C30 alkyl groups, each R1 is independently a C2-C4 alkyl grou p, and a is a value from about 1 to about 400. The multi-alkoxylate-chain segme nt polymer is of formula (II), where X and R1 are defined as in Formula (I), n is a value from about 1 to about 10, each b is independently a value from about 0 to about 2, c and d are independently a value from about 0 to about 2, b + c + d is at least about 2, each e is independently a value of 0 or 1, and each w , y, and z is independently a value from about 1 to about 120. A method for reducing bulk hair area employs the hair care composition above.
